2 weeks ago | modernsouthmag.com | Chip Carter

Featured image: Donna Sanders“Vidalia onions aren’t just the most famous onions in the world; I think they may be the only famous onions in the world.”— Chef Bobby FlayThis time of year, the 50-mile radius surrounding Vidalia, Georgia, is basically a nonstop sea of green. It’s all the onions, those wonderful sweet but somehow still savory Vidalia onions we only get from spring through summer. In fact, Vidalias have become a sign of spring, like the start of baseball season and pools reopening.

WATCH: VSU LegacyStrolling the manicured campus of Virginia State University, set on rolling hills atop the Appomattox River with classical architectural styles evocative of a century past, you’d never know, or guess, or even imagine what happened on these very grounds 160 years ago. VSU was founded in 1882 as the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute. It’s one of the nation’s oldest Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and was the first to offer a four-year degree.
Commentary | Chip Carter: Consider the cost of living in Vermont when you vote

Aug 2, 2024 | reformer.com | Chip Carter

You’ve heard the saying, what have you done for me lately? When it comes to the Vermont Legislature it’s not a question of what have they done for you, it’s what have they done to you, what are they repeatedly doing to you. This isn’t just an indictment on the current serving legislators; the current group is the latest in a long line of representatives who since the mid-1980s have repeatedly asked residents to fund programs through taxes as if we are a bottomless well.

Wait A Minute, Potatoes Are A Grain?!? Congress, USDA And Even Jimmy Fallon Are Weighing In On The Subject

Apr 10, 2024 | wherethefoodcomesfrom.com | Chip Carter

Talk about a hot potato. There is some talk – a lot, in fact – about reclassifying potatoes from a happy member of the vegetable family to a grain. Many farmers and some members of Congress think that’s about to happen when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and USDA release their upcoming Dietary Guidelines for Americans, something that happens every five years.

WTFCF Celebrates Episode #50!

Feb 1, 2024 | wherethefoodcomesfrom.com | Chip Carter

A few years ago I took a leap of faith and started a company to create a new television series about food, farmers and all the other good people who keep us fed. Believing if people saw the reality about farming, and most importantly got to know the incredible people behind it, they’d be amazed and keep watching. So far so good. Friday night at 9:30 p.m. we will air Episode #50 of Where The Food Comes From on the RFD-TV Network (with a repeat at 12:30 a.m. for West Coast prime time).
Fruitcakes And Other Nutty Things

Dec 10, 2023 | wherethefoodcomesfrom.com | Chip Carter

My paternal grandmother, Lilybell Hollis Carter, was the very model of propriety. She lived in a small Georgia town where her father had once served a mayor. She was not wealthy – far from it. She was a widow raising three young children working as a bank teller. She was in church every time the doors opened. She did not date. Liquor never touched her lips. She was a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and taught Sunday school at the First Baptist Church of Madison.
Where The Food Comes From Season 4 Heads New Directions Digging For Your Roots

Oct 2, 2023 | wherethefoodcomesfrom.com | Chip Carter

Where The Food Comes From is on the move! When we started making the show in 2021, a pandemic was raging, we were still feeling our way, and we had to get our wings up under us in challenging circumstances. We found our track fairly quickly and the show premiered on The RFD-TV Network in January of 2022. Most of the stories we told in the first three seasons come from the Southeast, because that’s where we’re based and where we could travel freely.

Sep 13, 2023 | wherethefoodcomesfrom.com | Chip Carter

Where The Food Comes From is proud to announce a new partnership with Splenda — you know, the one in the yellow packet. What does Splenda have to do with farming? Ah — you’re forgetting about plant-based sweeteners that aren’t sugar — like monk fruit and stevia. Heartland Food Products Group, makers of the Splenda line of sweeteners, is in the farming business, too.
